A powder barge came upriver from the arsenal to deliver cartridges and gunpowder. Another barge came on the next day with 1,600 32-pounder rounds, 200 nine-pounder balls and 600 six-pounder rounds. The gunner and his mates oversaw the stowing of the shot whilst Thomas had himself rowed around the ship to assess the effect of the stowed round shot on the ship’s trim.It was December 20 when he reported his ship ready for sea, and on the next morning he was given his orders. As had to be expected, Tempest was detailed to escort a convoy, in this case 12 Navy transports headed for Gibraltar. The rendezvous was between January 3 and 6 in the Downs south of Ramsgate, and Tempest was to be supported by a small gun brig, the Dasher, 14, under a Lt. Carver.Thus it came that the Greys celebrated Christmas on board HM sloop Tempest with Thomas’s senior officers. It was a crowded affair in the captain’s cabin of the small ship, but the officers appreciated the food and the female company, for. He had kindled the fire and brought in a fresh supply of dried split wood, enough to keep the cabin warm for about ten hours. He promised to return before 2PM because the radio report predicted a major front was coming in that would drop the temperatures to well below zero again for the tenth time since December 1st. It was one of the very shortest days of the year, and sunset would occur about 4:20P. Soon after he left dressed in his warmest clothing carrying his double-barrel shotgun I decided to gather more wood so Abe wouldn’t need to work until dark after a hard day lumbering through the deep snow. Amazingly, the hours fly in the small cabin with all the chores that need doing every day, as I viewed the beautiful ice-covered lake from my single small window looking towards the lake. I wasn’t particularly surprised when he was still out hunting at 3 PM, but by 4 PM when the sky starts to darken up here in the north country I was concerned. Abe was always punctual when he told me.
